Margo calls for ex-RBS chief's pot interdict
LOTHIANS Independent MSP Margo MacDonald has today called for an interdict to be pursued through the courts to prevent Sir Fred from claiming his pension pot.
The former RBS chief executive has come under fire for refusing to give up some of his 693,000-a-year pension. Treasury minister Lord Myners last night wrote to Sir Fred, urging him to think again about his "unfortunate and unacceptable" decision and denying the banker's claim that he had effectively sanctioned the package.
Today, Ms MacDonald has written to First Minister Alex Salmond asking to find out whether the full facts about the pension were known to Treasury ministers and officials when the deal was negotiated.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown had indicated yesterday that legal action may be taken to resolve the pension dispute.
